Sorry about the science-centric nature of many of the reports I've mentioned. My interest in the future of academic libraries is much broader than just a scitech focus so I would really appreciate any readers out there who can suggest reports that are relevant to the various other academic areas: business, humanities, social science, arts, etc.

Wow! Thanks for that list. Now I just need some textmining program to digest all these reports and gvie me a summary of their conclusions!
Tell me about it. When I started compiling the list I had no idea it would end up being so long.
Hi John,
You might find some useful stuff among my bookmarks at http://delicious.com/LibraryFutures , especially under the Research tag ( http://delicious.com/LibraryFutures/research ).
Thanks for posting your collection!
Thanks, Laurie. Your del.icio.us acct has lots of interesting stuff.

Hi John,
I think it is a very commendable listing, but I think there should
be a notice for limited access for
some of the material !
